I hate to see mother's over-react in these cases because it sends the message to the daughter that she really messed up. The mother that says "It's their loss -- you'll thrive at something else." is the type of mom who boosts her daughter's self image.
I totally agree, and I'd take it one step further and suggest that you don't have to respond to her complaints about rush at all ever.
